Clothes

I have decided that women's winter clothing is designed to keep us cold. At the least, the fancy clothes are. I have 1, maybe 2, long-sleeved shirts for church. The rest are short sleeve, with one being sleeveless. And last night, I was picturing a sleigh ride through the snow, all dressed up, but I realized that evening gowns rarely have sleeves, and I could think of none with long sleeves. So I realized it would be a very cold sleigh ride. And today, I was looking at clothes online at Forever 21, and there wasn't a single long-sleeved dressy shirt. And often they are made of silk, which is not know for being particularly warm. And even casual shirts that are long-sleeved aren't very warm. Old Navy is a particular offender, making shirts so thin you can almost see through them.

What is the purpose of wearing such cold clothing? What do they hope to accomplish by making such clothing? It is so we can still show off skin in the dead of winter? No thank you! I like to stay warm. To do so, I have taken to wearing multiple jackets, a scarf, gloves, tights, knee-high socks, and whatever else I can find to keep me warmer. Sometimes this includes a boyfriend, which makes me quite happy. Unfortunately, we can't do some things we usually do due to the cold weather, which has me shivering quite a bit sometimes, making me want to curl into a ball. Fortunately for him though, I like to snuggle up against him for warmth.

I can think of no other reasons, and certainly no good reasons, why winter clothes aren't warmer. I suppose it will remain a mystery.
